That is, the spout constituting the principal portion of the automatic faucet is substantially formed by assembling the mutually independent spout body having formed therein the discharge water flow path and protective cover for the sensor or the like. Accordingly, the spout of the automatic faucet can be assembled easily. When any trouble occurs with the manual sensor or the like or the sensor cord is broken, the protective cover for the sensor or the like can be removed rapidly from the spout body and the broken portion can be fixed or replaced easily.

Abstract: A method of determining a calibration factor used to calibrate vehicle speed signals includes the steps of driving the vehicle over a measured distance, counting the pulses generated while driving the vehicle over the measured distance, and then calculating the calibration factor from the number of pulses counted and a nominal pulse count stored in memory. An indication of the difference in a reference speed using the old and new calibration factors is displayed to the vehicle operator who can then choose to accept or abort the new calibration factor.

Title: Method for fractional condensation of acid combustion gas components and apparatus for executing the method
Inventor: FUGLEDE HANS
IPC: B01D53/00

Granted: 1996-06-26
Abstract: During a method for fractional condensation of acid combustion gas components in condensers, by the addition of a peroxide solution to a suitable quantity of excess air, it is possible to avoid the disadvantages of the previously known methods. Exploitation of the latent heat energy of the combustion gasses is thus possible as the purification products become economical through a price reduction of the waste gas purification, resulting also in a reduced strain on the environment and the atmosphere. It should be possible to utilize the combustion gas after purification. In order to attain these ends a dispersed, surface-increasing filter aid suspended in the peroxide solution at a temperature of approx. 220  DEG C is added before the combustion gas enters the condenser, with the subsequent reduction of temperature in the condenser by the oxidized combustion gas to the temperature interval of 160  DEG C-140  DEG C, draining H2SO4, and to the temperature interval of 120  DEG C-110  DEG C, draining HNO3, and further to approx. 20  DEG C where other residual products condense.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. Positive and negative electrodes (1,2) of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart and electrically isolated from one another so that the only electroconductive connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes (1,2) is established by fluid to be treated extending between the electrodes. Fluid passing between the electrodes is therefore ionized. Because it has been found that superior effects can be achieved when the fluid is ionized under a voltage only condition, in which there is relatively little current flow through the fluid, an electrical insulator (3) is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes, extending across any shortest direct path therebetween. Thus, the electroconductive connection between the electrodes (1,2), that is established only by the body of fluid to be treated in the apparatus, is established through the fluid along a path that extends around the electrical insulator (3). Such a path, which is longer than any shortest direct path between the electrodes (1,2), defines a relatively long resistive path through the fluid between the electrodes. Accordingly, current flow is inhibited. <IMAGE>

Date Aug. 8, 1991.The invention relates to optical elements, particularly retro-reflecting, retro-imaging and optical transmission inversion elements to relay a true scale equal conjugate image of a scene. Hitherto, the image had a resolution limit set by the pitch and/or packing density of micro-optical elements to reflect or transmit ray bundles impinging on them, the number of elements within the viewing zone determining the lateral and hence depth resolution in any given direction. The object of the invention is to reduce the effect of micro-screen texture in a relatively inexpensive manner, that provides real-time systems and which can be used with fast moving objects. This objective is met by an optical element comprising a retro-reflecting or auto-collimating transmission screen (9) having one or more lenses (6,10) and an associated means (8,11) of displacing wavelengths to different degrees and whereby to spread a reflected or transmitted image into a spectral streak. The means (8,11) of displacing wavelengths may be a grating, mechanically or optically blazed, or formed from prisms, or may be a diffraction or zone plate.
